24. Of the four synthetic meso-hydroxyhemes only the α-isomer was efficiently converted to biliverdin by heme oxygenase. However, the fate of the δ-, γ-, and β-meso-hydroxy isomers of other porphyrins formed in situ is not clear. See: Yoshinaga, T.; Sudo, Y.; Sano, S. Biochem. J. 1990, 270, 659-664.

27. Torpey, J.; Ortiz de Montellano, P. R. J. Biol. Chem. 1996, 271, 26067-26073. Some of the conclusions in that paper are based on the undetection of 10-methyl-substituted biliverdins. It is described that such kind of biliverdins readily tautomerize to a bilirubinoid structure that presents different absorption and Chromatographie properties. For examples see ref 10, pp 245-246.
28. Frydman and Frydman described the structural requirements of the substrate involved in the specificity of heme oxygenase, the presence of the vicinal propionic acid chains being the most important requirement (see ref 26). Electron-withdrawing groups at the β-position of rings A and B decreased substrate activity but did not suppress it.
